Well - I don't know of a way in HLASM - but the Dignus assembler
in that environment has a pretty powerful search mechanism that
lets you do precisely that...
You can cause it to use lower or upper-case letters, append
a suffix (e.g. ".mac") or just about anything you'd like.
This works under z/OS UNIX and all the other UNIXes/Linuxes we support.
You can also do cool things like put your maclib members in a ZIP file
and have it look there.

Happy Holidays everyone!!!
